Don't Be A Jerk! A Classic Whisky Cocktail Recipe With A Secret Garnish

Whisky is one of our go-to liquors when warming up to the holiday season. The natural spices from a classic whisky is like a big warm hug during late fall, early winter season.

Recently we discovered Wayne Gretzky's 99 Proof Canadian Whisky. Gretzky’s 99 Proof Whisky nods hints of maple and toffee with a lingering aftertaste of spice and sweet smoke. But what's the secret ingredient that paired so well with our classic whisky cocktail?

Not So Secret Ingredient:

The secret to our recipe is Dick Duff's Jerky Sweet Chipotle flavoured jerky. The aromas from the smooth whisky accompanied by Dick Duff's Jerky Sweet Chipotle flavoured jerky is a match made in heaven. The hot and sweet combination works well between both the jerky and the whisky.

Don't Be A Jerk Recipe:

2 ounces of Wayne Gretzky 99 Proof Canadian Whisky 🥃

1-2 Pieces of Sweet Chipotle Jerky

1 Sage Stem

Steps & Instructions:

Step 1:

Burn a piece of sage and place your glass overtop allowing for the sage smoke to fill the glass.

Step 2:

Take 1-2 pieces of Dick Duff's Jerky and rub one piece around the rim for flavour. Take your second piece of jerky and add as garnish to the rim of your glass.
